30+ Pictures Of Tweets Where People Roasted The Most Absurd Movie Clichés, And They’re Both Funny And True

Movie clichés have a way of sneaking past us until someone points them out, and then they are impossible to ignore. That is exactly what happened when a Twitter thread started roasting the most absurd things films keep doing over and over again.

What began as a simple “Hello, I am...” meme quickly turned into a long chain of jokes about pregnancy tropes, hacking scenes, dramatic fights, and every other ridiculous shortcut movies love to use. The result is a collection of reactions that are funny because they are painfully familiar.

By the end, you may never watch a cheesy movie scene the same way again.

Before now, I had never really given much thought to all these movie clichés. As I read through these memes, I discovered that they are all so true.

Nevertheless, I guess they all need a little extra spice for a movie to be entertaining enough for the audience to watch without feeling bored.

Hollywood is never giving up its favorite shortcuts.
